Denesh Ramdin made his highest first-class score of 131 as West Indies settled for a draw on the third and final day of their tour match against MCC at the Racecourse Ground here Sunday.

Wicket-keeper Ramdin's innings followed up Runako Morton's career-best 201 as West Indies piled up 534 for eight declared in reply to MCC's first innings 260, in what was the tourists lone practice match ahead of the third Test against England, starting at Old Trafford on Thursday.

West Indies then reduced MCC to 64 for five in their second innings, the largely student side effectively six down after captain Sanath Jayasuriya had left for an early flight back to Sri Lanka, when a draw was agreed with 15 overs remaining - time enough for the West Indies to force a win.

Ramdin faced 163 balls with three sixes and 16 fours in the run-up to the clash at Old Trafford where West Indies, 1-0 down after suffering a record innings defeat at Headingley, must avoid another loss to keep the series alive.
